A white fairy tern fledgling, also known as manu-o-Ku, perched alone on a tree about 30 feet above Pohukaina Street late Friday afternoon. Manu-o-Ku's busiest breeding season is January through June, with the major peak time happening in March. The adult terns lay their eggs directly on a branch instead of in a nest and the chicks will stay near the birthing site while they're young.
